Did  You  Know...

Noel Bangerts 1955 Manta Ray (his second body style) took its inspiration from the 1954 showcar – the Buick Wildcat II. This was the second body Noel introduced of a total of 3 different bodies from 1954 thru 1957. The first was a racing style fuselage which he called the Stag introduced in 1954, and the third being a Ferarri style body introduced in 1956-1957.
